Very good

Talk about a great staff! Every staff person was incredibly nice and so willing to accommodate our needs! Our daughter even asked to stay here the next time we are in town. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
Check in was great, the host was very attentive. The hallways stunk, the floors had so much black spots all over. The room smelt moldy and pee soaked. The curtain ha d black fingerprints all over. The bathroom door would not close for anything. The AC was loud and the air smelt so bad. Outside had about 10 Spanish people grilling and playing games as if they were having a family reunion. This was by far the worst stay I have had at any hotel. I barely slept and as soon as it was light out I left. I would not recommend. My kids were so uncomfortable.

This property isn’t for families. There is a gentleman’s club across the parking lot, and a rough dive bar next door. The room itself was clean and decent for the price. Only one elevator worked and it was full of drawings of wieners and other graffiti. The pool area was nice. A/C in the room got kinda weird at night.
The listing says they have EV chargers on property…. They most definitely do not! The closest charging station is 25 minutes away at the mayfield shopping center.
The staff were super nice though!
We were booked for 3 nights, but decided to leave after 2, because when we pulled in on the 2 night, their was a larger white lady on the hood of a truck twerking it what appeared to be shorts for a toddler.
If I was 21 and single, this might be a good time. But I highly recommend you spend $20 more a night for a different spot, if you have kids.

One elevator was broken. The other was very slow and had graffiti carved on the walls inside of it. The lamp in the room was broken and had questionable substance on it. We also tried multiple times to connect To their WiFi and it never worked.
The carpets were filthy in our room. The bathroom tub did not drain, and the bathroom was not clean around the tub. In addition, why would there be a coffee maker on the sink,a terrible location and unsanitary. Not sure why others gave it a good review.
My husband and I enjoyed our little weekend getaway at the Comfort Inn. Mrs. Sandra at the front desk was a delight to chat with. She even shared a little life story with me. She baked some fresh cookies and although they smelled good we didn’t get any. Our room was spacious and very clean and quiet. The next morning we enjoyed our breakfast and the blueberry waffle was hit. We would stay here again and again when we want to getaway.

The property appeared fine for a low budget hotel and a quick stay. However, the first room we were given was under construction and we had to return to the lobby immediately to get a different room. The room we ended up staying in was very humid and moist. The carpet was damp and the sheets felt damp. On our second and last night, there was visible condensation collecting on the hard floor surfaces. If we were staying longer I would have complained and switched rooms but we were checking out shortly. I reported the conditions to the worker at the front desk as we were leaving.
